Thus, with the aim to evaluate the difference in the CEO compensation structure in the US and the UK, three objectives were set. Data was gathered through previous academic papers and studies. The theories on CEO pay are disjointed and competing against each other. At the same time, the study also reveals that there is no consensus on what should be taken as fair pay. As the business environment changed, the macro-economic factors influenced CEO pay. Incentives were needed to attract and retain talent; it was also necessary to be comparable with the peer group. All these led to excessive CEO pay which suggests weak corporate governance structure and lack of management control. Firms could find loopholes even in regulations and codes of conduct. Statistics also reveal wide disparities in CEO pay and the workers’ pay. There is no consensus on the benefits of linking performance to pay and it has been used to suit individual conveniences. A comparison of the practices in the US and UK reveal certain differences. More of rent extraction practices can be found among the US firms where shareholders and investors have little knowledge of the firm’s operations. However, in the UK the shareholders are involved in ‘say to pay’ and the decisions are collaborative. ...

Demand for restricting or regulating CEO pay or the issue of “fat cats” (Lin, Kuo and Wang, 2013) comes in times of economic crisis (Dittman, Maug and Zhang, 2011). Blinder (2009) refers to the incentives built into the compensation plans of many financial firms as “perverse” and attributes the financial crises to these “perverse” incentives (cited in Lin, Kuo and Wang, 2012). CEO pay has received enormous attention not just from the academics but also from the press (Gao, Harford, and Li, 2012). Every other day media reports of the excessively generous pay packages although there are diverse opinions over the pay packages granted to the executives. These arguments suggest that there is little correlation between economic conditions and executive pay. The CEO pay was subject

...to research, companies that consider their CEOs as stewards have been succesful compared to those that restrict the decision making ability of the CEO.
In conclusion, it is evident that the CEOspay packages have increased significantly. This might put more pressure on the resources of the companies that they run but it is also important to appreciate that their jobs are extremely demanding. In order to justify the high payments that the executives receive, the compensations should be tied to their performance. Also, companies need to implement the stewardship theory of management to give CEOs the...

...of the corporate directors of an enterprise. Bad quality can tarnish the reputation of a company and it can hurt its brand value. Branding is a technique that allows companies to charge a premium price for its products and services (Kotler, 2003). The production and engineering department are responsible for ensuring the top quality of the products. Quality control problems can occur due to either machine or human error. A way to reduce errors associated with machinery is by implementing a good maintenance program. Human errors can be lowered by increasing training and developments.

...the strategic value of a firm's asset mix: human and intellectual capital.
The higher the ratio of CEO to worker pay, the greater is the disconnection between the results that stakeholders hope for versus what's actually being rewarded. Out-of-whack ratios lead to lower quality and innovation. Office workers and point-of-service employees are sensitive to the signals that big pay packages send when company performance doesn't justify them. Even setting CEOpay based upon industry benchmarks may not be an effective standard given the distinctive contributions required of a given CEO and...

...with an increasing unease with his imperious style honed at GE that was not in tune with the people-friendly culture of a retail company, the board decided to let go of Nardelli - albeit with a very generous goodbye pay. On a closer look many factors are behind Robert Nardelli's huge severance package that cannot be traced to Nardelli alone; but there are measures that could be used to done to reign over-the-top CEO compensations such as Nardelli's.
According to Alan Sloan, business analyst of Washington Post (Sloan, p. D01), Nardelli is not receiving a severance pay more than he was actually entitled to under the employment contract he signed in 2000 with the board of...

...CEO Salaries: Should They Be Brought In Line With Employee Salaries? In the face of global economic crisis, the world is now looking at the various factors that contributed to the ongoing economic downfall of the strongest economy in the world – the United States. One of these factors being looked at is the excessive pays that the US’s big companies give to their Chief Executive Officers (CEOs). Despite the non-disclosure policy of companies regarding their CEOs compensation packages, proxy indicators used by credible research outfits have yielded an alarming picture of a US CEO paid 364 times as the average
worker (Paywatch by AFL-CIO, 2008).

...that will qualify whether the CEO deserved the amount of pay.
As noted by Solomon (2007), survey says that the CEOs in the US are really overpaid because there is “an absence of objective ways to measure an executive performance”. Secondly, much is expected from an American company so these companies live up with the expectations. Tough competitions set in, and to stay on “top”, companies must hire the “best” CEO to run their company. And the “best way” to have the “best” CEO to come and stay in the company is to lure them with excessive salaries and benefits even before they will produce results as what most...
